For children on the autism spectrum, school can be a frightening, even sickening, place. A child's ability to learn can be greatly affected by anxiety and difficulty understanding teachers and other students.
As more children in New Zealand are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the pressure increases on schools and teachers trying to cope.
In this DVD teachers show how they are creating environments where children with ASD are able to learn and thrive, parents tell us about their experiences with school and students talk about how it is for them.
It covers mainstreaming at primary, special schools, secondary schools - both mainstream and satellite classes, and has valuable tips and strategies for both teachers and professionals working in the field of ASD.
Although aimed at children and adolescents with ASD, the resource not only includes relevant information and strategies to carry over into adulthood, but also presents strategies that are useful for with any child with a disability at school.
